I don't think the lower band should be blued and I think the upper hand guard is a WWII replacement, but it matches great. The bore is very shiny and gauges less than 1.

hi hump hand guard
here are some photos of the hi hump hand guard, these have the fixture slot inside near the rear. You can still them around but it might take awhile and they are not cheap. Like alot of uncommon parts there are repros of this hand guard around too.Attachment 107079Attachment 107080

I think the handguard is the correct style. Here are a couple of these for sale that have the same profile of handguard. One even has the same barrel date as this one.

03 hand guards
You are correct, there was a post WW1 hand guard with rounded sides, mine has a drawing number on top. Mine is on a 1931 NM rifle, but might now be correct !Attachment 107081Attachment 107082

You did a great job. I don’t like sporterised rifles. This is now again a great one. Bravo!

That is a lovely stock. You were very, very lucky to find that one.
And the final result is ... splendid!
